Lyrics:

We passed upon the stair
We spoke of was and when
Although I wasn't there
He said I was his friend
Which came as a surprise
I spoke into his eyes
I thought you died alone
A long long time ago
Oh no, not me
We never lost control
You're face to face
With the man who sold the world
I laughed and shook hand
And made my way back home
I searched for form and land
For years and years I roamed
I gazed a gazeless stare
We walked a million hills
I must have died alone
A long, long time ago
Who knows?
Not me
I never lost control
You're face to face
With the man who sold the world
Who knows?
Not me
We never lost control
You're face to face
With the man who sold the world

instruments tight as hell- vocalist weakens the knees- and I'm always left wanting more-it's perfection in 3 and a half minutes

[MrKeithkerr]

I listened to several versions of this song yesterday just to prepare for this debut-reason being it can be expressed alot of different ways....the version from the television show Ozark was stark and raw and left me wanting more as he only did one verse.... I thought that would be the one to remember but I keep playing this one over and over now- just love how together it seems- you have really done well with this

[wmStubblefield]

Beautiful, haunting rendition. I find myself listening to it over and over. Thank you

[fazergazer]

Hauntingly beautiful. Listening to this music, reminded me that David Bowie’s eyes were different colors, like the stars.

That's brilliant! So gentle, so fresh! Laura, your vocals are fascinating and perfectly fit in with the instruments. I wish I could sing like you someday... The rhythm section of the bass and drums is great, and the melody of the guitar is so haunting. And the vocalise at the end of the song gives me goosebumps. Now I can't stop listening to the song. Everything is beautiful. Well done! Thank you!💖

[SeaMountForest]

Like that retro 60s faded color block. Great song as well.

[marcellolamonica]

Wonderful, refined and precious rendition. Well that made me curious! I myself play and sing in an amatorial tribute band and I am very curious to hear Nova covering other artists, as this was superb, elegant and very charming. GO ON GUYS!

[luisbento]

Sempre que ouço os Nova sinto um grande prazer e por vezes aquele arrepiozinho de pôr os pelos em pé.
Muito obrigado por mais um excelente cover interpretado de forma genial. Sou fã incondicional.
